Benefits of technology

[0007]The primary object of the invention is to provide a computer cooling system integrated with a housing, in that the cooling system utilizes large areas of the housing for elevating heat dissipating efficiency in and out of a computer host. Not only specific components in the computer hosts are provided with reinforced cooling effects, but also ambient operating temperatures in the housing are maintained within a certain range, thereby reliably lowering operating temperatures and promoting operation stability of the computer.
[0013]Referring to FIG. 5, to reduce production costs and mold expenses of the housing 20, the housing 20 is devised into a shape having a U-shaped cross section. End portions of the housing 20 are provided with an embedding strip 24 and an embedding slot 27. Two housings 20 having U-shape cross sections are first joined with each other by embedding means, and then joined with the sealing panels 30 into one body to form an integrated housing. Using the aforesaid characteristic, volumes of molds and semi-finished products are substantially reduced for lowering production costs.

Problems solved by technology

The reason is that once the ambient operating temperatures exceed an upper limit thereof, algorithms of the computer are undesirably affected to lead to computer crashes in minor situation, or even component damages in worst cases.
Also, current computers are advanced with faster and faster algorithm speeds, meaning that higher temperatures are easily incurred.
However, when multiple sets of fans operate simultaneously, wind noises become quite noticeable while outputting unsatisfactory heat dissipation efficiency.
More particularly, accompanied with miniaturization of computer hosts, the aforesaid conventional heat dissipation system is hardly capable of fulfilling heat dissipation requirements.
Furthermore, such type of heat dissipation system that utilizes wind flows, along with stricter heat dissipation conditions, creates larger and larger airflows in and out of the computer housing to bring dust and dirt outside the computer housing to an interior thereof.
Hence, this prior heat dissipating device still needs to coordinate with a conventional heat dissipating system to obtain sufficient heat dissipating effects.
Although this prior heat dissipating device does elevate partial heat dissipation efficiency of the CPU, the water tank occupies a rather large space in the computer housing.

Embodiment Construction

[0019]To put the invention to use, the heat conducting plate 40 is directly adhered to a CPU, a hard disc or other computer components that need heat dissipation. Using circulation of the cooling liquid in the housing 20 and driven by the pump 42, thermal energy absorbed by the heat conducting plate 40 from the computer components are brought into the housing 20 for thermal exchange. It is to be note that, the housing 20 has large-area outer surfaces thereof in communication with an exterior, and the partitions 23 in the housing 20 are capable of effectively conducting heat while restricting circulating routes of the cooling liquid to increase contact time per unit cooling liquid with the housing 20. Therefore, the cooling liquid is allowed to convert to a temperature approaching room temperature in the housing 20, and to further be outputted to the heat conducting plate 40 for thermal exchange. Thus, thermal energy produced by the CPU, hard disc and computer components can rapidly ...

Abstract

A computer cooling system devised with a computer housing, which is a sealed body and has a plurality of paths. An end portion of the sealed body is connected to a heat conducting plate via pipes thereof. The heat conducting plate is directly attached to a CPU, hard disc or other computer components that need heat dissipation. The paths of the housing are filled with a cooling liquid that is circulated between an interior of the housing and the heat conducting plate using a pump, thereby rapidly lowering temperatures of the computer components to which the heat conducting plate is attached. The housing is made of a material such as aluminum having a good thermal conductance coefficient. In conjunction with circulation of the cooling liquid, temperatures in the computer are rapidly exchanged by the housing and thus controlled within a recommended operating temperature range.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001](a) Field of the Invention[0002]The invention relates to a computer cooling system, and more particularly, to a cooling system for enhancing heat dissipation efficiency of a computer.[0003](b) Description of the Prior Art[0004]A computer has cores made of semiconductor electronic components at an interior thereof, and regards ambient operating temperatures thereof as rather crucial. The reason is that once the ambient operating temperatures exceed an upper limit thereof, algorithms of the computer are undesirably affected to lead to computer crashes in minor situation, or even component damages in worst cases. Also, current computers are advanced with faster and faster algorithm speeds, meaning that higher temperatures are easily incurred. In addition, requirements of heat dissipation stand more and more important in the modern micro manufacturing process.[0005]An existing heat dissipating method is to install a certain quantity of fans at a computer...
